Quota and catchment things. They should have competed to be admitted in schools outside their region. Thank God I could not have imagined passing through same uni as Lamode. He is not qualified in character even if he did in learning .

No Southern name? It is understandable. The first generation of educated Northerners attended this school and since they have ruled for the most part of our chequered national history, this is not surprising and in my opinion, does not connote academic excellence.

Advantage, advantage, advantage of power, this post shows!
